Indianapolis, IN Veolia Water once claimed to have the largest, most innovative water partnership in US in Indianapolis. According to Food & Water Watch (http://documents.foodandwaterwatch.org/veolia-eur.pdf[52]), “Indianapolis, Indiana: Sinking the Flagship Veolia lost its largest water contract in the United States in 2010 when Indianapolis terminated it more than a decade early. The company received a 20-year, $1.5 billion deal to manage the city’s water system in 2002. Since then, workers, consumers and government officials alike have all had problems: Employees claimed the company cut their benefits by more than $50 million; residents accused the company of using unfair billing practices and overcharging them; a city Councilmember criticized the company for cutting back on staffing, water testing, treatment chemicals and maintenance, and other members questioned whether the company had a financial incentive to fudge quality tests. The company apparently lowballed its bid to win the deal, but after several years of multimillion-dollar losses, the company finagled major concessions from the city. A controversial contract amendment signed in 2007 shifted millions of dollars in liabilities from the company to the city while increasing city’s annual payment to the company by $1.9 million. In total, the amendment cost the city more than $144 million. State regulators refused to allow the city to recoup some of these additional expenses in a rate increase. By 2010, with infrastructure needs mounting, the city opted to wash its hands of the water utility altogether and decided to sell it, along with the sewer system, to the nonprofit Citizens Energy Group.

According to Public Citizen (http://www.citizen.org/documents/Vivendi-USFilter.pdf[53]), “New Orleans ended its long nightmarish flirtation with privatizing a combined water/wastewater operation in April 2004. The ill-fated consideration ran up a price tag of roughly US$5 million over more than five years and a pair of mayors. And what has New Orleans to show for all that time and money? Like that of its competitors, the bid proposal submitted by Veolia Water—the biggest, and presumably most experienced, water/wastewater system operation and management contractor in the country—was so laden with uncertainties, inadequacies, omissions and other problems that New Orleans officials could not credibly assess the much promised savings.” In 2009, Veolia Transportation won a delegated management contract with the city to improve public transportation and mobility over the next ten years.

Lee, MAAccording to Public Citizen (http://www.citizen.org/documents/Vivendi-USFilter.pdf[53]), “Town representatives of Lee voted overwhelmingly in September 2004 to reject a proposal from Veolia to take control of the public water and wastewater system. The more people in Lee learned about privatization, the less they liked it. Serious concerns were raised about Veolia’s track record in other communities; the company’s effort to push the scheme through establishing financial ties with powerful community leaders; doubts that Veolia’s promised savings, even if achieved, warranted the risks of privatization, and the reliability of the company’s promise that current system employees would be retained and treated fairly. At bottom, Lee citizens became increasingly wary of turning over their community’s public water system to an enormous private company headquartered on another continent. The proposed contract offered by Veolia offered little assurances. Made public to Lee citizens only days before the town representatives were scheduled to vote up or down on the deal, the contract was riddled with holes and omissions. The city would have been saddled with any number of costs, ranging from excavation to testing to administrative tasks. The company reserved for itself the right to set rates for treatment of “trucked-in waste from outside of town,” reflecting a scheme to turn Lee’s wastewater treatment facilities into a regional waste plant/Veolia profit stream. The contract allowed the town only “limited” access to documents relating to system operations. And the entire proposal lacked a credible cost estimate against which savings promised by Veolia could be measured, calling rather for an “audit and asset valuation” only after the contract had been signed. Veolia’s effort to privatize water in Lee had been quietly churning along mostly under the radar for nearly four years, and as late as spring 2004 it appeared as if the contract was, in fact, a done deal. But as the community became more engaged, Veolia’s scheme couldn’t withstand scrutiny, and Lee town representatives ultimately voted down the project 41 to10.”

While company officials lauded the continuing contracts with water and wastewater treatment plants in the community, the town recently rapped the company for cutting costs by refusing to properly treat wastewater with chemicals. As a result, the town was blanketed in a stench.”

Rockland, MAAccording to Public Citizen (http://www.citizen.org/documents/Vivendi-USFilter.pdf[53]), “Rockland terminated Veolia’s contract to run the town’s sewer plant in February 2004, amid embezzlement charges involving a sewer department official and a local company executive. The men were charged with embezzling more than US$300,000 from the Rockland Sewer Department. The termination came on the heels of a forensic audit that suggested the bidding process by which Veolia was selected to run the plant was rigged, as well as an investigation by the Massachusetts Office of the Inspector General into whether the original bidding process was rigged in Veolia’s favor.”

Village of Hempstead, NYAccording to Public Citizen (http://www.citizen.org/documents/Vivendi-USFilter.pdf[53]), “Veolia’s dreams for little towns, as well as the corporation’s long-term corporate strategy for the entire country, may have came together in early 2004 in the Village of Hempstead, N.Y. The specter of privatization came to the Village of Hempstead, on Long Island, at the invitation of a mayor who is the former president of the pro-privatization U.S. Conference of Mayors. The Conference, and more specifically its Urban Water Council, has effectively become a lobbying arm of the big water corporations. Contrary to the best interest of cash-strapped municipalities, the Urban Water Council urges Congress to de- emphasize increased federal assistance for water and wastewater infrastructure projects, instead supporting regulatory and tax schemes such as relaxed restrictions on private activity bonds which serve merely to promote municipal water privatization. The Urban Water Council is ostensibly comprised of mayors, but the council’s “Water Development Advisory Board” is comprised exclusively of 17 private companies in either“full” or “associate” member status. Veolia Water is one of four “full” members. Veolia Water also sponsors the U.S. Conference of Mayors web site, www.usmayors.org[54]. So it was particularly pleasant earlier this yea r when the then-president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors was unable to foist water privatization on his constituents in the Village of Hempstead; local citizens and organized labor mounted a rigorous opposition to the privatization scheme, which now appears to be shelved by mostly embarrassed proponents. But the attempt serves as a reminder of Veolia’s strategy with regard to privatizing municipal water systems. For now, it’ll go after small towns instead of big cities. In the long run, it’ll work with its corporate counterparts and front groups like the U.S. Conference of Mayors to win favorable tax and regulatory treatments in Congress, in the hopes of choking off federal money to cities, effectively putting desperate towns up against the wall to make wild-eyed schemes like privatization palatable.”
